This charming cottage on a quarter acre lot is a gardener's delight. Even those with a black thumb can enjoy the already thriving raspberry bushes, flowering trees and hardy perennials. Its quiet Princeton Township location is just a moment's drive from the center of town and has many conveniences within strolling distance. The house itself with hardwood floors, a brick fireplace and big window seat is an enchanting alternative to condo living. The living room has French doors to a deck with hot tub and a stone hearth beneath the large fireplace. A breakfast area adjoins. The kitchen is larger than expected and has loads of cabinet and counter space. Doors to the deck and garage are also handy. Two bedrooms are served by a cheerful bath fully tiled in blue and white. A closet-lined vestibule gives the bath en suite privacy. Central A/C and a new furnace offer year-round comfort and efficiency.
